725 S Oak Knoll Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91106

Designed by revered Pasadena architects Marston & Van Pelt, this lovingly maintained, single-level home was built in 1921 and is on the market for the first time in nearly 60 years. Located on one of the neighborhood's favorite streets, close to where Madison Heights meets the Oak Knoll district, this home exudes the feelings that privacy is key and entertaining a must. Sited on a tremendous flat lot, it offers a deep front lawn, motor court driveway and a sprawling backyard surrounded by mature landscaping which has hosted everything from intimate gatherings, summer pool parties to gorgeous weddings. The large swimming pool is perfectly set at the rear of the expansive lot and is a beautiful focal point. While the tax assessor shows the property as a 4 BD/ 3 BA, after the kids were grown the architect owner partially reconfigured the floor plan to the current 3 BD/ 3 BA configuration, making it even more "adult" by taking the closet out of the primary bedroom and making the second bedroom the "dressing room". The front entry was changed to a side entry adding gorgeous double doors reclaimed from Caltech at the new entry and throughout the home. (Seller has the floor plans as it was in 1964 and old photos of the original front entry.) The footprint of the home was not altered. The interior of the home offers an outstanding entry hall featuring a cozy den area (previously the 4th bedroom), hardwood floors, fireplace, French doors and windows, spacious living room with high pitched ceilings, recessed lighting and the most impressive bookshelves. There is a formal dining room + a sunny breakfast nook in the kitchen. The large sunroom with lovely views to the backyard has been used in many different capacities over the years and is currently the home office. Adjacent to the kitchen is a generous sized laundry room. Attached to the two-car garage is a covered patio with a ceiling fan, long ago named the "summer house" and offering shade on a warm summer day. 725 South Oak Knoll offers the perfect opportunity for a fortunate buyer to update this home to their specific needs and make it their forever home. Truly a rare find in the City of Roses.
